I began the complex task of painting camouflage ... My hope is to be able to do an acceptable job ...

I built a Dora a long time ago, they definitely had some complex camo, and many examples had parts/panels/components replaced, sometimes with bare metal. But as long as you are not going "Yellow-10" (and you are not with the red-stripes) then the upper camo shouldn't be too bad.

Yellow-10:

(few Luftwaffe examples had 3+ colors on the underside, but you did choose a hard one)

Love the build, and love the pics... what sort of set up do you have for the photo shoots? .. ....assuming great lighting in addition to cyclorama, or do you 'shop them as well?
